I’ve written pages upon pages trying to rid you from my bones

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, I Should Write Dr. Strange

There are reasons for this. If you are creating a time travel machine, you don’t want it killing you, and traveling to the past is the […]

SYTYCD Canada Bloggin’

Posted by MGK Published in Obligatory So You Think You Can Dance Category, TV

Your guest judges tonight are Blake and Melissa Williams, who is dubbed “the queen of new disco.” (As opposed to “the queen of taking themed jazz choreography and coming up with a new name for it,” I guess.) Amanda and Denys: “the dreaded quickstep.” Because apparently nobody is allowed to just call it “quickstep” any […]

Betty Cooper Insanity, Postwar Division

Posted by Jaime Weinman Published in Archie (Improved Or Otherwise), Comics

From the “That Is Not An Excuse!” Department

Posted by John Seavey Published in Sports

Okay so you are going to a nerd place where the nerds are and you are thinking “right I need a costume.” Everybody understands this. If you are going to be in a giant roomful of nerds then clearly the thing to do is stand out, and you can’t do that by wearing a black […]

This is good.

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, THIS-IS-AWE-SOME (clapclapclapclapclap)

A few whiles back I did a list of “reasons I will love comics forever,” which were mostly awesome panels. I haven’t had a lot of those lately; there just aren’t as many moments in comics these days that make me sit up and go “yeeeEEAAAAAAH!” I don’t know if it’s because they’ve changed or […]
